p.1

This is a provision that requires improvement

n The quality of teaching is variable. Staff do not make the most of opportunities to challenge and extend children's learning, particularly for those who are older and most able. n Staff do not help children to understand the importance of healthy eating and physical exercise. n The provider does not monitor staff effectively. For example, she has not considered the recent staff changes and the impact this has had on the quality of teaching. n Staff do not consistently help children to learn about other people's backgrounds and diversity.

Staff keep parents informed about their children's activities and achievements. n Children have regular opportunities to develop their senses through exploration. For example, they experiment with a range of materials, including glue and sticky paper, paint, crayons and sand.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management requires improvement

Safeguarding is effective. Staff demonstrate a secure understanding of safeguarding and wider child protection issues. They know the procedures to raise concerns regarding a child's welfare. The provider has thorough recruitment and induction procedures to ensure staff are suitable to care for children. The provider is committed to developing the setting and has made some improvements since the last inspection. For example, all staff have a Disclosure and Barring Service check. Staff have received training and coaching to develop their teaching knowledge and skills. However, due to recent staff changes, the knowledge from training and induction is not yet fully embedded. As a result, children are not challenged to extend their learning. The provider carries out regular evaluations of the setting and identifies areas for development. Furthermore, she monitors children's progress to help identify any gaps in learning for staff to address.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment requires improvement

Staff use observations and assessments to identify children's next steps in learning and plan activities that interest them. However, teaching practice is inconsistent and not all children are challenged in their learning. Staff know the children well and identify what they need to address next in their development. However, staff do not implement this effectively to support and challenge children's learning further. For example, children enjoy exploring with sand and staff role model words to build younger children's language skills. Staff do not challenge the older children. Such as, through effective questioning, to help develop their critical thinking skills.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare require improvement

Staff provide children with opportunities throughout the day to play and learn outdoors. Children are confident and eager to develop their physical skills. For example, they join in with running games and use small climbing equipment. However, staff do not encourage children to learn about the effects physical exercise has on their bodies. Staff are very aware of children's dietary needs and promote good eating habits. For example, children enjoy sitting together at mealtimes and they learn good table manners. At times, staff miss opportunities to teach children about healthy eating. Children learn to manage their self-care routines in readiness for the next stage in their learning and eventual move to school.

p.3

Outcomes for children require improvement

Children are happy and eager to join in with activities. They develop good relationships with others and communicate their needs well. However, due to inconsistencies in teaching, older children are not sufficiently challenged in their learning to make the best possible progress. Nevertheless, children make progress in relation to their starting points. Children develop their independence skills well. For example, they pour drinks and put on their coats ready for outdoor play. They confidently make choices and follow their own interests within their play.
